jigrael's Deadeye is hard to select in game

I've sent jigrael a pm about this problem, but he hasn't been on the website since February...

In game the unit is very hard to click, and I'm told it's a problem with the model. I don't know how much modification it would require to fix it and if it would constitute modifying the model without permission.. but I would appreciate some help with this.

i know what will probably fix it:
-open the model with magos' model editor (i doubt you would need permission for this edit btw)
-then select from the top "Edit"
-and then "Calculate Extents"
-then save model
-and import to map (make sure you dont have it imported before, if you have then ill tell you what to do then)

please tell me if it worked. ^^

no =[
maybe it's because the model itself doesn't have a lot to select? is there a way to increase the "extent"?

edit: found something, going to see if I can do it.

I've tried manually setting the extents and bound radius to +/- 1000 to no effect. any ideas?

thanks Trax., I've send him a pm over there.

I think Extents have to do with the model's visibility (when the camera is over it or pointing towards it), not its collision shape. What you need is the collision shape, which I believe is an actual bone you need to add a spheric (most likely) attachment on.

can any modelers shed some light please? =\

btw i think you should have created your thread in this section. since this here isnt as much of a resource request than it is a request for help with model editing/fixing.

okay I'll try there thank you
